I like how they include a fully stocked toolbox under the hood. You’d think people would get the idea and NOT buy the damn thing.

“Consumer research group J.D. Power last year published a study indicating that EV owners are far less satisfied with their cars than are those who own traditional gas-powered vehicles.”

Once they had finished with the Virtue Signalling market, which can NEVER admit to their idiocy, they were left with people who actually planned to USE their EVs for tasks that they used use gasoline cars for...and those people are willing to tell the truth, which was that they got shafted.

The green agenda is going to fail, probably under the weight of a severe economic recession.

Don’t play along.

A year ago we purchased a 2018 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid with 30K miles..gets 40mpg. Very happy with the luxury appointments and performance. Frankly I think regenerative hybrid was the way to go to increase both mpg, but also as a stepping stone to electric or other “green” mode.

A 2014 Ford Focus Electric needed a new battery that cost $14,000 -- and the car originally cost $11,000!

You should budget at plug in electric to be discarded after 8 years, consider it a bonus if you get 10 or 12 years out of one. And never buy a used one more than 4 or 5 years old, and again plan on amortizing it over 5 years at that point.

The famous science fiction writer Robert Silverberg calls himself an “early adopter.” He was one of the very first buyers of a couple of Mazdas with rotary engines.

He was sure that was the wave of the future and would be what everyone would someday own——like his Betamax TV tape system that cost a fortune.

EVs might be OK for people who live in urban areas where trips are short and recharging stations plentiful. However as more EVs are on the road their limitations will become very apparent to their owners. EVs rely heavily on electronic technology which can be prone to difficult to resolve technical problems. Range does not live up to the hype in real world use. Costly battery replacement will make an EVs worth far less as a used vehicle. The issue of fires due to battery failure has not been fully resolved. For most of us an ICE vehicle will still be the best choice.

This isn’t an electric vehicle problem. This is a “You Bought a General Motors product, what did you expect?” problem, because their regular gas vehicles do this too.

Whoa! For that kind of money GM execs should be carrying you wherever you want to go.

The oversized electric golf kart fanbois will be along to condemn you for laughing at their liberal virtue signaling toys.

Hey!
Liberal virtue signaling requires sacrifice!
